A Long Island man is
embracing his own struggles to help others.
"I suffer
from anxiety myself and I have agoraphobia," said Brower. "I
was homebound roughly about five years. I would get a quarter or two, maybe a
half mile, from my home and would be about it."
Brower says it can feel
like you're having a heart attack. He says he started pushing himself out more
in 2017.
He started sharing
his story on his Facebook group and then it blew up, reaching people all around
the world.
"In order to
get yourself through it, you have to put yourself through it," said Brower. "That's what leads
me to helping others. I get joy from helping others."
